I want to see how many people agree with me on my new thinking. I believe we've already won the Iraq war. We had two main goals at the beginning--make sure Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and to remove Saddam Hussein from power. During the war we added the third goal of establishing democracy. When we went in we found no WMD's, so that accomplishes number one, albeit we did it the hard way. We removed Saddam from power, so we've done number 2 as well. The hard one is number 3, but I believe we've accomplished that as well. I would define democracy as a choice belonging to the people. Well, the Iraqis voted and established a government. The Iraqis then promptly chose civil war and to a point, terrorism. The fact that they did not make the choice we wanted them to make doesn't change the fact that they did make the choice, so in essence democracy was established and therefore we won.
